WEST LAFAYETTE — Purdue baseball coach Mark Wasikowski looked to the Pacific northwest to fill one opening on his coaching staff.

The Boilermakers on Monday announced Elliott Cribby as their new pitching coach. He succeeds Steve Holm, who left last month to become head coach at Illinois State.

Cribby also served as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at Seattle. The Redhawks won 30 or more games in three of the past four seasons, including 37 and a Western Athletic Conference championship in 2016.

Cribby was voted the WAC"s best recruiter by his fellow coaches in a 2016 d1baseball.com poll. In his five seasons, 18 Seattle players were selected in the Major League First-Year Player's Draft. Three Redhawk pitchers were drafted last month.
